Hi

I compiled XBMC on Windows x64 on Virtual Box using the official guide:

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_for_Windows

I set up the build environment. I called these bat files:
DownloadBuildDeps.bat
DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat
make-mingwlibs.bat
BuildSetup.bat

After that I ran Build in VS2013 (It had some warnings regarding linking mysql, but no warnings)
And when I tried to run it, an error containing error number 0xc000007b popped out. Does anybody know why is this happening?

Thanks

Another hint, when I ran BuildSetup.bat, an installer was created. I ran it, installed kodi, ran the application and error came: "Unable to create GUI"

[ironic_monkey]

you are missing proper gpu drivers. which isn't at all a surprise since you are running in vbox..

[jocastoja]

OK thanks,

Can you tell me which drivers you think I'm missing, and how can I get them? Do you have some manual how to do that?

Thanks

Anyway, I tried to compile previous version of XBMC (13.2) and when running make-mingwlibs.bat I get:
The system can not find path specified.
msys environment not found.

I installed MinGW and msys (edited PATH also). Is there some problem with 13.2. version?

No there isn't a problem. If you follow the wiki page it should just work

Thanks Martin,

OK, but do you know what is the problem with version 14? The problem I have when running the application?

Should I compile XBMC on win64 or win32? Can that be a problem?

[Memphiz]

Thats not a problem. Have a look into debug log (wiki) it will tell you why the application couldn't be created. You have to ensure that you have turned 2d/3d support turned on for your vm i guess.

[jocastoja]

OK, I will try that when I do compile again.

Now, I've got an error while compiling: Cannot open include file: 'libavcodec/avcodec.h': No such file or directory.
Manual says that I should download archive and run DownloadBuildDeps.bat again.
Where can I find this archive?

Thanks

If you call "DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat" get error 'The syntax of the command is incorrect' in cmd.
In link path xbmc folder, You remove character "-", "_", then you try again "DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat" and "make-mingwlibs.bat".

[jocastoja]

Thanks Luka, but I don't get this error. Any other ideas?

What is version to compile?

[jocastoja]

14 or 13.2. If you have a full set of instructions how to compile any version I would be very grateful. Instructions on wiki page are not working in mu case.

[jocastoja]

I managed to compile it without errors, but I still cannot run XBMC. BuildSetup created an exe file but I get "Unable to create GUI. Exiting." message.
Is it because of the VirtualBox?
